This is nicely informative but shouldn't be in "lies." It is also a nice sound-bit collection that doesn't represent reality in even a simplified reality. It is a nice warm fuzzy for leftist group-think.

If anybody is guilty of group-think, it's conservative Republicans.

First, it belongs in the channel "lies" because regardless of your opinion, it's discussing either a lie by Obama, or a lie by conservatives claiming Obama promised something he didn't.

Second, you have simply lost all ties to reality if you think this isn't something being pushed by conservatives incorrectly.

McCain promised to eliminated all earmarks, and veto every beer bill with them in it, not Obama. Obama said it was a bad practice, and was committed to reform, but never said that it would be his top/only priority to eliminate them entirely.

If you have video of Obama promising to eliminate all earmarks entirely, post it. I'll upvote it.

nowhere does obama say he wants to eliminate all earmarks.

obama also makes a good point that earmarks are a tiny fraction of the budget.

i am 100% sure obama wants to save serious money, so he will be instead focussing on slashing military spending and ignoring the defence lobby...
